Summary
Learning outcomes of the course are solution of real problems, that future engineers may encounter in their profession, based on application of the physical knowledge acquired in previous years, theory of similarity and proper design and evaluation of the laboratory experiments. Selected parts of modern physics are presented as well with a particular focus on comparison of classical, relativistic and quantum mechanics. At the same time, due to the focus of the faculty, increased attention is paid to thermodynamics and physics of the atomic nucleus. Knowledge gained in the bachelor study in the subjects of Physics I and II and the mathematical apparatus of Mathematics for Engineers is exploited.
